General Information for Students

What is Blackboard Vista?

BC uses Blackboard Vista as the primary eLearning system to complement classroom instruction.

Blackboard Vista provides instructors with secure web space where they can maintain course related files and documents, as well as discussion lists, quizzes, assignments, and grades.

BC currently uses Blackboard Vista only to enhance classroom instruction; true eLearning courses do not yet exist as part of the curricula.

You can access Blackboard Vista by logging onto the Agora portal (this is currently portal.bc.edu) using your BC ID and password and clicking on the indicator under My Courses. You will not need a special login for Blackboard Vista once you have logged onto Agora. You can also login to Blackboard Vista directly using your Agora credentials by logging onto http://cms.bc.edu.
